TGF-β Signaling and the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition during Palatal Fusion

TL;DR: The current understanding on the role of TGF-β signaling, and specifically its association with MEE cell fate during palatal fusion, is summarized and the new insights in the fate of MEE cells in the midline epithelial seam (MES) during the palate fusion process are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral Clefting in China Over the Last Decade: 205,679 Patients

TL;DR: The epidemiology and surgical procedures performed on the largest reported cohort of individuals with clefting in China, which reports the largest cohort of cleft patients treated by surgeons to date, generally follows trends previously reported in China and developed countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of human soft palate morphogenesis supports regional regulation of palatal fusion.

TL;DR: The results are consistent with the soft palate following a developmentally more rapid program of fusion than the hard palate, and the two regions of the palate appear to be independently regulated and have their own internal clocks regulating the timing of seam removal.

A Study on Environmental Factors for Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip and/or Palate.

TL;DR: The proper amount of folic acid, the appropriate age of childbearing, and the high education were the protective factors of NSCL/P, whereas family history, abortion history, drug use during pregnancy, maternal tobacco and alcohol, and maternal stress were the risk factors for NSLI/P in Yantai District, China.

Retinoic Acid Embryopathy

TL;DR: It is possible that a major mechanism of isotretinoin teratogenesis is a deleterious effect on cephalic neural-crest cell activity that results in the observed craniofacial, cardiac, and thymic malformations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apaf1 (CED-4 homolog) regulates programmed cell death in mammalian development.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Apaf1 is essential for Casp3 activation in embryonic brain and is a key regulator of developmental programmed cell death in mammals.

Clinical manifestations in 105 persons with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.

TL;DR: The frequency of the clinical and radiological anomalies in Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome in a large population of US patients is delineated and guidelines for diagnosis and management are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming growth factor-β3 is required for secondary palate fusion

TL;DR: This result demonstrates that TGF–β3 affects palatal shelf fusion by an intrinsic, primary mechanism rather than by effects secondary to craniofacial defects.
